Error handling is important in any application, especially one which has a long lifetime of running.
## Handling errors in command and event modules
To capture errors, enable the 'error' event in sern's global event manager.
import { FileTree } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
<FileTree>
- src/
- commands/
- events/
- **error.js**
- index.js
- config.js
- dependencies.d.ts
</FileTree>
:::tip
Don't forget to enable event handling!
```js title='src/config.js'
export const events = "./dist/events"
```
::
```js
import { EventType, eventModule } from '@sern/handler'
export default eventModule({
type: EventType.Sern,
name: 'error',
execute: (err) => {
console.log('caught', err)
}
})
```
If the error handler is not set, sern's behavior is to crash the application.
This respects [node.js's default behavior](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#error-events)
:::caution
Be careful about errors thrown IN the error handler.
If this happens, a memory leaks occurs and your bot **will crash**.
